As a Federal executive, I benefitted immensely from timely, insightful, tactful and clear coaching from Mary Simon for over a decade.
Mary has an unparalleled ability to help leaders and executives to focus on what is most important, while also giving due consideration to all the complexities and interrelationships to be weighed in leadership endeavors.
Mary has a brilliant talent for providing the right tools at the right time. In fact, she was responsible for the most remarkable moment in leadership teambuilding of my career.
I was newly assigned as the executive leader of a diverse and group of mid-level leaders, each highly capable and independent, but not seeing the value of working as a team and with a shared vision.
The retreat that I was leading was sputtering, and my team was therefore at risk of suffering a setback. At just right moment, Mary, as facilitator, stepped in and suggested an exercise that completely turned around not only our retreat, but also the entire dynamic of our team from that day forward.

As a longtime executive recruiter and small business owner and now a higher ed student advisor, I have been privileged to view Mary Simon’s talents from several vantage points.
Mary has a gift for hearing and discerning the truly important issues amid the noise of business as usual. She expertly navigates through complexity and cuts to the chase with both precision and grace.
Along with this, she brings insight and gravitas to offer credible and game-changing counsel across organizational levels. Mary Simon stands tirelessly committed to ensuring the professional legacy of her clients.
Her own legacy will surely endure through their accomplishments.

Mary and I have known each other for many years through our shared commitment to a socially conscious organization. Hers is a steady and compassionate voice, unafraid to face issues clearly and always open to collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to meet and work with many talented individuals. Mary Simon ranks among the most gifted listeners with a remarkable capacity to quickly get to the heart of understanding difficult situations.
Her depth and breadth of knowledge of organizational issues and ability to develop creative responses to challenges can only be labeled as excellent. She effectively clarifies and translates client’s situations and helps them solve the puzzles along the way.
Mary and I worked together when we teamed up to provide training to help middle to executive managers improve their ability to navigate organizational politics. She is a quick study with a deep commitment to each of her clients. Her compassion is both genuine and unending. Her insights, savvy, and guidance are powerful. She will serve as your best advocate and challenger.
Mary elevates the “game” for everyone with whom she connects. She not only is a creative strategist, and tactician, but she empowers clients by helping them with the keys to begin to develop these same capabilities.
Any executive would benefit from having Mary in their corner. I recommend her very highly.

Her knowledge of the NRC, her experience with the Federal Government, as well her background in corporate and academic environments, continue to yield significant insight, capability, and value.
She is a highly accomplished coach, an excellent instructor, and a subject matter expert in organization development.
Her communication skills are highly effective and her leadership style is respected.
